As fellow Democrats begin to pressure Sen. Hillary Clinton to concede the nomination to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton says she has no plans to step aside. And a top Democratic strategist says she still has a chance, albeit a narrow one.

"She has every right to go on," said Democratic strategist Bob Shrum on "Good Morning America Weekend Edition." "She just has very little chance of winning."

"What she has to do is win Pennsylvania very big -- not by 10 points, but 15 to 20 -- so she can narrow that popular vote margin," said Shrum, a former adviser to Sen. John Kerry's 2004 presidenital bid. "She has to defy expectations … win Indiana and show she's doing better, significantly better than Obama is, over John McCain.

"What worries me as a Democrat," he added, "is if we get to North Carolina and Obama wins ... and it's clear that he's going to win the pledged delegates, the super delegates are not going to overturn the pledged delegates. … We're not going to say, 'Let's see what electoral votes were assigned to the states that were won, because that proves you can carry them in the fall.'"

Come on, people. Stop believing this nonsense.

She knows she can't win. She can do math. It's nothing more than a run for 2012 at this point.

6. Shrum = Hack.

I see he's still trying to push that stupid 'electoral votes' thing.

Another loser of a consultant, backing a losing candidate. That's Shrum all over.
